As you’ve probably guessed by now, this is all fake. Jasper was real, and she worked for Sub Pop, but she was the perpetrator of a hoax on the Times and a British magazine, Sky. Tired of all the inquiring phone calls about grunge, she cooked up the fake slang and the journalists just ate it up. And they deserved it, not for being unhip, but for being lazy and not bothering to check their facts, content to take whatever the person answering the phones said as gospel. Suckers.
